by road and bridge units, by volrevkoms, the property of the Kopor Railway construction is being destroyed, seized, and plundered even without notification to the administration of this construction. I propose, under pain of the strictest responsibility, to immediately cease this arbitrariness, return what has been taken, make good what has been plundered and lost. Henceforth in no case permit arbitrary disposition of the property of other departments without prior coordination of the question with them. Those guilty of non-compliance herewith are subject to the strictest responsibility. Report on execution*.
